And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive

Other than my parents, no one had a bigger influence on my life than coach smith. he was more than a coach – he was my mentor, my teacher, my second father. coach was always there for me whenever i needed him and i loved him for it. in teaching me the game of basketball, he taught me about life. my heart goes out to linnea and their kids. we've lost a great man who had an incredible impact on his players, his staff and the entire unc family.

Do not be afriad! i can see that americans are not afraid. they are not afraid of the sun, they are not afraid of the wind, they are not afraid of 'today'. they are, generally speaking, brave, good people. and so i say to you today, always be brave. do not be afraid. do not be afraid. god is with you. do not be afraid to search for god-then you will truly be the land of the free, the home of the brave. god bless america.

I hated motivators - never been a motivator. motivation is like a warm bath, and you should take a bath probably, but you need more than that; you need strategy. i was a strategist, but nobody responded to that, so i was, like, "ok, what am i? i'm a coach. i'm not a guru." as an athlete, i had great coaches, and i was a better athlete than many of them, but they still were better than i was as a coach because they could see when i couldn't see. i thought, that's great, because i'm not better than anybody, but i do have the skills that i can help people.

I really had a rough time in middle school. middle school to me was the way most people explain high school. then in high school i had a blast. i basically did everything that you would do in high school or in college, so it really wasn't a difficult thing to pull out.

I think boxing is a singular sport, because the stakes are so high and because it just appeals to people's primal instincts. it's a life and death sport, and it's a sport of sacrifice. it's a humbling sport, and people are coming from humbling circumstances. it's always fun to watch a person that's come from nothing to having everything and losing it again.

Pitching is the art of instilling fear.

Love childhood, indulge its sports, its pleasures, its delightful instincts. who has not sometimes regretted that age when laughter was ever on the lips, and when the heart was ever at peace?

Athletes are american princes and the locker room is their castle. some of them behave in princely fashion, become legitimate heroes to us all. and some are jerks.
